Performance assessment based on stochastic differential equation and effort data for edge computing

Abstract

SummaryMany open‐source software are included in commercial software. Also, several open‐source software are used in the cloud service such as OpenStack and Eucalyptus from standpoint of the unified management, cost reduction and maintainability. In particular, the operation phase of cloud service has a unique feature with uncertainty such as big data and network connectivity, because the operation phase of cloud service changes depending on many external factors. On the other hand, the effective methods of performance assessments for cloud service have only a few presented. Recently, edge computing is the focus of attention because of the problems of connection and processing delay in case of cloud computing. It is known as that cloud computing treats big data. On the other hand, edge computing operates on instant data. We focus on the performance assessments based on the relationship between the cloud and edge services operated by using several open‐source software. Then we propose a two‐dimensional stochastic differential equation model considering the unique features with uncertainty from big data under the operation of cloud and edge services. Also, we analyse actual data to show numerical examples of performance assessments considering the network connectivity as characteristics of cloud and edge services. Moreover, we compare the noise terms of the proposed model for actual data.
